What a well matched match @smajor, if you pardon me for murdering the language.Already on for the second time.

If there is a critical remark, it must be that it is all very much well behaved. But maybe that's all in line with the guys' style. But if I forget about that, it's all lovingly done.I love your lyrics!Kind regards

Hi @smajor - this is great! Love the lyric, very impactful and beautifully represented Stan, perhaps my favourite of yours that I have read.. and I think that @jbfalken did a fine job with the music and performance...

Good bit of work @smajor ... and bonus points for working 'sequestered' into a lyric. Not one you often hear in a song ;-)It's an interesting musical style choice to go with your lyrics but I think it works well. I was imaging something much darker from your lyric, more melancholy perhaps ?

The groove works particularly well against the "... but I watch as they walk by" and the overall message. I can just picture well-healed people, busy with somewhere to go, walking past the subject in the song without a second glance.

I know what you mean MrBouzouki when you say "It's an interesting musical style choice to go with your lyrics". It took a few plays before I decided, as you did, that it works. I think the fact that the narrator, despite his poverty, is basically aspirational... is seeking something better... is what connects with the drive of the music.

Jeff and I are planning to release this song within the next month or so and we could use some help... please share which artist or artists this recording reminds you of. We're trying to figure out who our target audience might be.
